Finance and Support Services Manager (CH1186)

Our client partners with local communities to source agricultural ingredients and transform them into premium exports. As part of a diversified international family office, the South African business is entering a scale-up phase and strengthening its institutional foundations.

We’re seeking a Finance & Support Services Manager (Financial Controller)—a qualified CA(SA) who will own finance end-to-end and coordinate key support areas (logistics, IT, HR, legal / compliance, administration, tax). The role is hands-on and systems-driven, suited to someone who can move seamlessly between operational detail and strategic planning.

You’ll be the steady link between numbers, processes, and people—bringing clarity, cadence, and support so teams can do their best work.
